Fox Sparrow in the backyard!!!

A magnificent way to start the day...I heard what I thought could have been Goldfinches and instead I saw a couple of Fox Sparrows in the backyard.   The rain and poor lighting conditions made it very difficult to get a decent shot and the ones that I took came out blurry...though, I may post one anyway just to illustrate this fantastic find.

This is the first time that I have seen a Fox Sparrow in the backyard and I am ecstatic (can you feel my joy) about this sighting! Also, the Cooper's was again spotted in the back paying an early morning visit; after he left a Downy Woodpecker visited the suet feeder.   Not a bad way to start the morning.   The presence of the Fox Sparrow means that the backyard list, is now up to to 80 birds now recorded...20 more to crack the century mark.   Who would have figured a little backyard in Queens NY could have this many visitors.
